Welcome!

“Because you stopped by my site today! Thank YOU!

Crazy to think I started my consulting and speaking career over 30 years ago when I created this “marketing” button, “I’m So Excited! Ask Me Why?” for Mary Kay Cosmetics.

I never knew in a MILLION years that one idea would grow into what Speaktacular is today!

I was a new consultant with Mary Kay, and was told I needed to get to the convention in Dallas. I realized I could sell enough product to raise the funds to attend, however I have a very creative brain and I came up with this slogan and put it on a button.

My boss Carol Anton, who is now a National with Mary Kay, gave me 10 minutes at our meeting to share my ideas on how to build our business by using this marketing button!

I was over the moon that night when I sold 340+ buttons for $1.00 apiece! With that — I had my roundtrip airfare and I was off to the Mary Kay Convention.

When I arrived I thought to myself, how am I going to go about selling the remainder of my buttons? Thank God I wasn’t shy, because I took some of my button order and pinned my entire jacket in pink and burgundy buttons!

ONE has to stand out — Right?

That brainstorm helped me to sell 2,000 more buttons than what I had brought! That weekend changed the course of my life! My company went from “Buttons and More” to “The Original, Buttons and More” to Speaktacular!

With button success, I launched a series of talks and new marketing buttons, which over the years I’ve shared with hundreds of organizations.

“Don’t Delay, Do It Today” (A magnet that went with my “Sense of Urgency” talk)

“No Excuses” (20 years of Customer Service Training)

“Bored With Your Job, Try Mine!”

“You’ve Tried the Rest, Now Try the Best!”

“It is not for women only” (The print was so tiny, people had to ask what the button said, and then you had them in conversation!)

“No Fake Nails” (Amera Cosmetics)

“Natural or Nothing” (Amera Cosmetics)

There is NOTHING that gives me more JOY than supporting business owners and professionals with my products and services. I love helping them grow not only their net worth but their networks, too!
